Annual Association Membership Meeting
The 2023 Annual Membership Meeting has wrapped up. There were no changes to the Local Bylaws. We are now busy planning for next year's meeting. As many of you know elections are an important part of these meetings. We welcomed a new board member - Mr. Stan Dyer. In addition, elections were held for the delegates who will represent the membership of the association at the USBC National meeting and the California USBC meeting. The results of those elections can be found on the Board of Directors page. If you are interested in running for the Board, or as a Delegate at the next Annual Membership Meeting, nomination applications listed below can be printed and then completed and mailed. Or, if you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader program on your computer or phone, you can complete the application form on your device and submit it electronically. Eligibility requirements are noted on the respective application. The forms will also be available at the annual membership meeting.Our Local Bylaws state that we operate on a staggered system (odd/even year elections). This means that half of the board positions are elected in odd years and the other half of the positions are elected in even years. The term of office for all positions is two years. Mr. Bruce Pederson finished his term in office on July 31, 2023. Mr. Tim Smith as been voted to take over as President of the Association.
The "Even" year positions (for next years election) consist of the 1st Vice President and director positions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
The "Odd" year positions consist of the President, 2nd Vice President, Sgt-at-Arms and director positions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. They will be up for election at the 2025 membership meeting.
For those interested in joining the Board of Directors, the Nomination Application Form is HERE.
NOTE: ALL members of the Board MUST have and maintain current USBC membership and RVP (Registered Volunteer Program) compliance throughout their term. Youth 18 and under are not required to have RVP. Newly elected board members have 45 days to complete SafeSport training and pass a background check to obtain RVP compliance. It is not required that an applicant be bowling in an association league, though it is HIGHLY recommended.
Yes. Yes. I know. I know. Why do you have to have USBC membership, etc., if you do not have to bowl? Because USBC says so. It's not a bowling issue, it's a Board membership issue. Even if centers are closed or leagues are not going, the Board is still working.
For those wondering why Board members MUST be RVP compliant, US Public law #115-126 says so. For those curious about the law (and are having difficulty getting to sleep) you can read ALL about it (317 pages) HERE.
Basically, Congress has mandated (codified) that the Governing Bodies of all amateur sports - USBC is the Governing Body for the sport of bowling in the U.S. - ensure that the the participants of their respective sport (youth in particular) be protected from bullies, hazing, harassment, predators, etc.. It NEVER hurts to have extra eyes looking out for the safety of our kids and our more senior bowlers.
